-Einstein, Albert
  Prologue to Max Planck Where is Science Going? (1933).

The poetry of motion! The real way to travel! The only way to travel! Here todayöin next week tomorrow! Villages skipped, towns and cities jumpedöalways somebody else's horizon!

The old man puffed into sight like a venerable battlewagon pressing up over the horizon. First a smudge of smoke, then the long cigar, then the familiar, stoop-shouldered hulk that a generation has come to know as the silhouette of greatness.

-Time

'We were the colour of shadows when we came down with tinkling leg-irons to join the chains of the sea, for the silver coins multiplying on the sold horizon.'
